    That's why fast growing species exist. Some of my time with the dept of ecology doing snags was the most impactful of my career. Would love to see more of this in heavy urban environments.

    A couple buddy "competitors" and I are in the same boat. Minnesota has a "tree care registry", but it lacks enforcement. We've written to folks in charge about it... Nobody likes government oversight, but our industry is being held hostage with astronomically high work comp and insurance rates...

    Tell me about cottonwoods

    I rarely see whole tree failure in eastern cottonwood. Large limb failure is more common than some species, I'd say less common than white pine but more common than silver maple. For pruning we sometimes do a light canopy reduction, mostly deadwood pruning through. We prune them a lot due to...

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    We like the 755. I'm not a fan of all the plastic on the avant, and the avant plate. But there's no tougher machine in its weight class. It's something else watching a 50" 6' cottonwood log get lifted like it's nothing that keeps your back from hurting.
